I came across an online Walmart bike, the Mongoose Terrex Mountain bike with 27.5 inch tires, with 2.8" width, of which includes disc brakes and front suspension.
This bike is hailed as giving superior traction, due to the wider tire size, even in the snow, and hence would probably make for a great bike motor install, with superior traction for off-road motorbiking, and year-round, snow riding.
Though there is no info available online about the bike, including its available frame size(s).
I haven't been able to find it in stores, and perhaps it is an online Walmart purchase only.
Obviously I need to find out the available frame size(s) before ordering the bike, for my new motor install.
From past experience, I know I can't fit a bike motor into anything less than an 18.5" frame, and that's cutting it almost too close. A 19" frame is probably the real cutoff point for a bike motor install.
With these new "Unisex" bike frame sizes, bike frames are getting smaller and smaller, to accomodate either a man or a woman, hence the term-"Unisex" and generally some bikes only come in one size, the 18" (Medium) frame size, like the Mongoose Seeker, which would be too small to accomodate a bike motor install.
These newer Unisex frames are easily identifiable by the longer seat posts, of which are needed to accomodate a man on a women's size frame, otherwise his feet would be too close to the pedals for the smaller, Unisex frame size(s).
Is anyone familiar with this Terrex model bike, and what frame sizes in comes in?
Even the manufacturer doesn't specify.
The frame size can be found by measuring the bike frame's seat post vertical down-tube from the center of the cranklever hold-on nut, up to the top of the downtube, where the seat post fits into the frame, measured in inches
